A 3-1 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday wasn't the Toronto Blue Jays' only loss.

Third baseman Yangervis Solarte exited the game in the second inning with a right oblique injury. Solarte swung and missed at a pitch from Rays' righty Ryne Stanek before falling to a knee. He was eventually helped off the field and is set to undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury on Saturday.

"I'm sure it will be, it's an oblique," manager John Gibbons said in regards to Solarte's injury likely requiring a trip to the disabled list, per MLB.com.

Solarte, 31, has slashed .234/.288/.398 with 17 home runs and 53 runs batted in for the Blue Jays this season. However, he has struggled over the past month-and-a-half, batting a disappointing 190/.241/.253, per TSN.

Losing Solarte is just the latest blow to the Blue Jays, who have been decimated by injuries. Earlier this week, recently acquired infielder Brandon Drury hit the disabled list with a fractured wrist. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. also hit the DL earlier this month due to a left ankle and knee sprain.

Former American League Most Valuable Player and third baseman, Josh Donaldson, is nearing a return but his value to Toronto is likely more as an August trade candidate. Oft-injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has yet to play this season.

The Blue Jays do have third baseman and the top prospect in baseball, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., lighting up Triple-A as an option. He hit his third home run in as many days on Saturday. Toronto, however, may take a different approach.

It appears that catcher Danny Jansen, the Blue Jays' No. 3-ranked prospect according to MLB.com, will be called up if Solarte is required to miss any time. Jansen was removed from the Buffalo Bisons' game in the ninth inning, signaling his imminent promotion.
